When a Picture is Worth More Than a Thousand Words
I have two daughters. One is in middle school. The other is in elementary school. When my older daughter started middle school, I attended an orientation session of sorts for new parents. We were warned about the potential hazards of middle school. One such hazard arises when the child takes an inappropriate picture of himself or herself and sends it to anyone. The obvious danger being once the genie is out of the bottle, it cannot be put back in. The message was well received.
Prior to attending the orientation, my wife and I had instilled the dangers of such photographs to both of our children. We stressed that a picture should never be taken in the first place if it would cause embarrassment if it would end up in anyone else’s hands.
The headlines are rife with the tragedy of celebrities who have had their intimate photos stolen and then distributed. I am sorry, but it is hard to feel sorry for anyone who has put themselves in such a situation for the simple reason that intimate photos have no place on cell phones. And if you are not willing to live with the risk, don’t take the photo.
Unfortunately, celebrities are not the only ones making these stupid mistakes. Family law litigants do it too. Sometimes it is in the form of one spouse sending intimate photos of themselves to the other spouse (after the dissolution proceedings have commenced). Sometimes it is one spouse sending intimate photos of someone else to the other spouse. Sometimes it is an intimate photo of one spouse in a compromising position with someone else which ultimately finds itself into the hands of the other spouse (before any dissolution proceedings). If 10-year-old children are taught about the dangers of such reckless conduct, why do we keep hearing about adults making these stupid mistakes? Those kinds of pictures are worth much more than a thousand words, especially in family law proceedings.
